Enhanced Competitiveness through Innovation, Discipline and Objectivity Value-Added Science and Technologies (VAST) was founded in 2007 to bring objectively-validated, innovative products and services to animal production companies. VAST is dedicated to helping its clients accomplish their goals for enhanced competiveness through increased productivity, lower cost and improved profitability, balanced with social responsibility. Now more than ever, animal producers are being pressured from many different directions. Cost of feedstuffs has increased well beyond historical norms due to the rapid emergence of the bio-fuels industry and increasing world population. Producers are also striving to increase what are already world-class standards for environmental stewardship, food safety and animal welfare. Through its products and services, the VAST Team is committed to helping producers thrive in this rapidly evolving environment by carefully evaluating the needs of producers and working to channel innovative technologies and services to meet those needs in a disciplined and objective manner. The Team has uniquely broad experience and resources in the areas of finance, nutrition, production, genetics, feed manufacturing, negotiating processor contracts, business restructuring, marketing and industry leadership. Our Team The founders and senior management of VAST are Steve Weiss, Chad Hagen, Dale Green and Wayne Cast. The Team has served in leadership capacities for major animal production companies and feed industry suppliers. Together we represent a unique complement of knowledge, skills and industry relationships to effectively serve livestock producers and vendors of goods and services to the livestock industry.
